Progress and Straitegy of Rice Breeding in Heilongjiang
In recent years,significant progress has been made in the rice varieties breeding in Heilongjiang Province.The promotion area of varieties such as Suijing 18,Longjing 31,and Suijing 27 has repeatedly ranked first among conventional rice varieties in China.A number of new breeding theories and methods were innovated.The"Creation and protection of Rice Genetic Resources"project won the first prize of the"National Science and Technology Progress Award",the"Breeding and Application of New Early Longjing Japonica Rice Varieties with Good Quality,High Yield and Multi-resistance in cold region"project won the second prize of"National Science and Technology Progress Award".However,compared with abroad or some other provinces domestically,the rice varieties breeding methods in Heilongjiang Province were relatively single and the selection efficiency was low,innovation in emerging fields such as gene editing,whole genome selection,molecular design,and artificial intelligence breeding was still insufficient.Finally,the article provided the direction and strategies for rice variety breeding in Heilongjiang Province.
